Sleep and exercise teenagers

Hi everyone I hope your having a good day  and enjoy reading about what my class and I have been learning about in our health class with Whaea Raywen, Most teenagers eat really unhealthy food like candy, chips, salty foods and energy drinks when at our age we should be focusing more on eating things like all your greens if you eat meat or what how ever you get your iron and lots of water and making sure you have plenty of dairy each day. Sleeping is very important because we need it for our growing brain once your going through your teenage years that when you do your most growing so need a good night sleep and that means 10 hours or more of sleep and try not go on technology any  about an hour before your about to go to sleep. When we were watching our video two points that i really liked were that the more active you are the bigger your heart gets and grows because it needs to pump more blood around the body. And the second one is that you need at least 150 mins of exercise and active each week and every 10 mins count.  

What is acid? (Science)

 Kia Ora Readers,

Today we are doing an experiment on cabbages.

1.3 pieces of cabbage.

2.Beaker

3.Set up Bunsen Burner.

4.50ml water.

5.Pipette.

6. Hydroxide Acid.

7. Test Tubes (5x).

8. Hydrochloric  Acid. 

9. Test Tube (5x).

10.Paper towel.

11. Test Tube Rack.

12. Water.

Steps:

1.Chop up the red cabbage into small pieces. Place in a beaker and cover with a small amount of water.

2.Bring the solution to the boil using a Bunsen Burner and then turn off the heat. Let it sit to cool down.

3.Pour the cabbage water through a paper towel into a beaker. The dark purple liquid in the jar is the pH indicator liquid.

4.Suck up the indicator into a pipette.

To learn about bacteria and how they grow

Equipment:

1. Agar dish

2. Cotton bud swab

3. Vivid pen

   Method:

   1. Collect the bacteria on a cotton bud swab from taps, computer keyboards or desks.

   2. Divide the agar in half by drawing a line open the lid.

   3. Wipe the swab onto the agar solution.

   4. Put the petri dish into the incubator for 1 week to allow the bacteria to grow.

Learning story

Hello everyone this term we have done literacy and my whole class has write a learning story about and i hope you enjoy reading it thank you. 

hockey pokey

1. 2 tablespoons of gloden suryp 
2. 4 tablespoons sugar
4.Pot
5.Tablespoon and teaspoon
6. Bunsen burner 
7.paper cups

Method:
1. Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a saucepan and melt.
2.Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes 
3. Add baking soda and stir vigorously 
4. Put the hockey pokey on a piece of grease prove paper to cool

explanation:
1. We stir it because if we dont then it can burn  
2.it rises because the baking soda expands and of all the gasses 

 

Drama

In this photo its when we had to get into groups and make a short act and I worded with Akimano Mikhanya, Casey, Shanaya and Jhonas and we did it about two people at a restaurant. 

This is when Miss Ayers read us a story called Maui and the fish and after we recreated some of the seances from the book. 

 

This photo is when at one person at a time goes up and in the end we make on big object with all our body's taniwha and this is what the middle of the body looks like.

In this scene  my group is doing the first one from the book of when the four brothers went out to sea and Maui was hiding in the bottom of the waka  
1. I think that our group worked quite well with our levels. 
2. If I did this again I would think our group could work on keeping focus. 
3.We did well with the levels because we have people standing some sitting and someone laying on the ground. 
4.After we understood where we had to go for our next tableaw transitions it was much easier but sometimes we did have a bump into each other.

Neutralisation

 1. Take a test tube rack with 1 boiling tube at each end of the rack and 4 test tubes.

2. Half fill the boiling tube at one end with sodium hydroxide.

3. half fill the boiling tube at the other end with hydrochloride 

4. Fill each test tube with 5 drops of universal indicator 

5. Using the pipettes you will add drops of acid or alkaline to the test tubes to make the colors red,orange,yellow,green and blue.

 Materials:

1. Red litmus paper 

2. Blue litmus paper 

3. Sodium hydroxide 

4. Hydrochloride acid 

5. Pipette 

6. 4 Test tubes 

Steps:
1. Rip the litmus papper in half and put half in each tube 
2. Add 3 drops of hydrochloride acid to the blue litmus papper in test tube 1
3. Add 3 drops of hydrochloride acid to the red litmus paper in test tube 2 
4.Add 3 drops of Sodium hydroxide in the blue litmus paper in test tube 3 
5. Add 3 drops of Sodium bydroxide in the red litmus paper in test tube 4

The chili pepper, from Nahuatl chīlli, is the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum which
 are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chili peppers are widely used in many
 cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes.

The goast pepper

Jalapeño Medium

• Carolina Reaper 2,200,000 
• Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 2,009,231 
• 7 Pot Douglah 1,853,936 
• 7 Pot Primo 1,469,000 
• Trinidad Scorpion “Butch T” 1,463,700 
• Naga Viper 1,349,000 

 To see with is the best way to cool down the hot chilies taste in your mouth when eating chilli. I think that
 by using milk sour cram and other dairy products I will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from your
 mouth. We will be using Milk, water, coca cola, tasting cups and chilli.

Summary and Results:

Milk had a small effect on the chilli. After three minutes it took the whole taste away 

Coke had a small effect on the chilli. Cook worked well after 3 minutes and removed the taste totally

Water did not remove the chilli taste at all. After 3 minutes it removed the taste slightly 

Milk would be the most effective drink to use with spicy , chilli food 

Conclusion 

Milk could be a solution when eating spicy food-literally. That's because milk help your mouth handle capsaicin, an oi;y chemical in chilli peppers. Capsaicin blinds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation... Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away

Taste testing

 Hello there today we are doing a task were we are blind folded and have to try foods and guess if they are ether sweet, bitter, sour or salty.

equipment:
1. sample 1-9
2. Blindfold glasses
3. Recording chart
4.Ice cream stick tasters 

Method:
1. Get safety glasses and make them into a blindfold
2.Set up your chart and make sure that the person you are working with knows where to record your response 
3. There will be 2 answers 
4.At taste test one you have to hold your nose

Thank you for reading/looking at my blog have a good day.  :)

Australian Bush fires

 Did you know that over 3 billion animals have died in the Australian bush fires?

fire burnt 72,000 kilometres of forest.

The fires costed Australia $103 million.

 The fires started on June 2019 and finished around May 2020.

 There were about 3,700 fire fighters needed in Australia for the fires and 75 people had died.

 In a total 445 people died and 4,000 people had to go to hospital for injures and also because had breathed in to much of the smoke.

The main reason is because of globe warming, lighting and from people littering.

The wild bush fires happened in around north east of Australia.

The fires had badly effaced Australians and billions of animal lives .

People all over the world had to help out with the fires.

I learnt that billion animals lives were lost next time I would love to learn about how everybody who lost there home in the fires and how the are living now I hope you really liked my piece  on the Australian bush fires and did you learn anything from this.
